Logitech G F710 Wireless Gamepad, 2.4 GHz Wireless with USB Nano-Receiver, Controller Dual Vibration Feedback, 4 Switch D-Pad, PC - Grey/Black

Man they just don't make them like they used to. I still have a Logitech Dual Action from what maybe 2004? It's still my "old reliable" controller. I wanted something nicer and something wireless. Well the F710 was nice when it was new. It worked perfectly until it didn't. Windows will tell you it's not connected, then that you are "missing files" when the gamepad isn't detected. This thing went from "best gamepad ever" to "complete trash" for no reason. It's kept on a shelf in a cabinet and used less than 30 times. When new, I could use this gamepad from 20 feet away. Now it has to be within 8 inches of the receiver. When it was new, everything worked, all the time. Now, it simply disconnects on its own. When it was new, it was simply plug and play. Now it's an infuriating piece of garbage you can find COUNTLESS articles about. Because it's garbage and it just stops working after a year. Original review: Feels more expensive than it deserves to at this price! A great PC or Retropie controller. No-nonsense pairing (it's paired out of the box). The controller has a good heft to it, giving it that "expensive toy" feel. The buttons are responsive and the analog sticks are calibrated correctly. Using this on a Retropie and it's been a dream.

Logitech is a gaming industry veteran, known for their innovation and solid designs. This gamepad continues that tradition. It feels great and works instantly, from box to PC, running Windows 11. Nothing to install but I will download the latest Logitech app for programming the buttons. Initially tested out using PCSX2 and a variety of PS2 arcade, sports and driving games. No lag, precise movement, sitting about 20 feet from the USB receiver, using the included USB extension cord. The gamepad itself has a heavy, solid feel, partially thanks to the 2 AA batteries (included). I love the rubberized grips. All of the buttons, pads and sticks feel solid as well. Once again, Logitech shines with its versatility, allowing users to switch between game interface modes - the newer Xinput and legacy Directinput for older games. The vibration feedback works well. It's exactly what I needed and all the better coming from Logitech, a brand I've trusted for nearly 40 years. Great price too! UPDATE: After putting through extensive testing (aka gaming) I have to say I love this gamepad. No lag, wireless great range. My -only- complaint would be the smallish size of the front buttons (L1, L2, R1, R2) compared to my Xbox controller. But you adapt, as one does. Duh.

I have several devices capable of working with wireless USB controllers and wanted to pick one up. After doing a lot of research, I settled on the F710. I picked this controller because it has great compatibility with the OUYA as well as computers and a few other devices and the Logitech button the device perfectly mimics the OUYA button on the OUYA controller. First off, this is a solidly built controller. It feels good in your hands from the perspective of its build quality, but it's not really shaped for a comfortable fit, the curves on the upper left and upper right corners don't feel very natural. The buttons are responsive, the analog sticks are very nice (and feature clickable L3 and R3 functions) and the shoulder buttons are adequate. The controller also features a rumble function and it's got a very strong motor compared to other, cheaper controllers I've tried. It also has a switch on its back to change from xinput to direct input which is useful for those who intend to use this device with Windows PC games. The digital pad is just so-so and is the weakest part of the device. It's too hard and "clicky." If Logitech had used softer plastic and given it a little more play it would have been fine. It's still usable and you won't have any issues with diagonals or anything like that, but it feels considerably cheap compared to the rest of the controller. As for performance, the controller has worked great with everything I've tested it on so far. On the OUYA, it's almost a perfect replacement for the official controller. I say almost because it lacks a mouse pad and there are a few games and apps that don't recognize input from the controller, but they are an extremely small minority. I will specifically mention that XBMC in particular will not recognize input from this. For most of the games (and all of the emulators) I've tried, the F710 has worked like a charm. With xinput and direct input support for PCs, I've had no major issues with the majority of PC games I've tried it with either. No special drivers were required, it just worked. Before I purchased this I read about some issues with the controller not working well or lagging with distance from the receiver. The unit does include an extension cable, but I'm happy to report I haven't had any need of it. Primarily I use this device roughly ten feet from where it's plugged in. I haven't tried going beyond that, but I haven't had any major input or lag problems to report. Battery life is excellent. It includes two real name brand AA batteries and mine last for weeks of extensive use. Since then I've been using a set of rechargeable AAs I have and they've been excellent as well. I've been very pleased overall with this controller. The only things really keeping it from a perfect score are the shape of the unit itself and the disappointing dpad. On the PC side you may have to do some minor fiddling with it to get it set up the way you want (primarily with direct input apps) but that's the nature of the beast. This is a solid controller and while it isn't quite worth the original price, at $30-$35 it's definitely not a bad buy and comes recommended.

I have owned my pair of F710 for 10 years and this is the second review. the quality is pretty better than I have expected, for 10 years use (avg 5-6 hours per week) these gamepads still work pretty well. the rubber on the side is peeling off but no impact to the controller. Compatibility is also good enough, I do not have XBOX but there is no issue playing XBOX games through PC or through Cloud gaming, it even worked well with my Samsung TVs Cloud XBOX gaming, just plug the receiver dongle to the TV's USB port, and then you can use F710 to control the TV smart interface and play XBOX cloud games using TV built in app. Tried on several Samsung TVs and no issue at all which is great. Now the down side, as many mentioned they have issue with driver install. Actually this issue existed long time ago in Win XP when I first purchased my F710, issue still persists in Win 11. Win cannot recognize it and install driver automatically. solution is simple, just go to device manager >select F710> update driver>browse for driver on you computer> pick from a list>xbox 360 peripherals>xbox 360 controller for windows, once driver is installed it will get recognized, and no need to re-install afterwards.

I'm a huge PC gamer, and honestly I was expecting more for this. When it works, it's a great controller. But when it doesn't it's very irritating. The first thing is that this has a good initial feel (read on for why I say initial). I also like how integrated batteries are into the controller which is fantastic. Microsoft's Xbox One controller will actually have the same layout, eliminating that battery pack from their existing 360 model. Aesthetically speaking, it's pretty nice overall. Feel like a good hybrid between the Dual Shock and Xbox 360 controllers. The overall design of the colored buttons is also something the Xbox One controller will have and it looks really homey. Before buying this I had seen a number of other reviews for it that mentioned its limited range. I wasn't too concerned because I would only be playing up to 3 or 4 feet away from the USB receiver. However, it didn't take very long for me to see that even at that range buttons and sticks were still not functioning all the time. The remedy to this was the receiver's included extender which is about 3 or 4 feet long as well, so it's eliminated the dropped signals completely while still retaining wireless-ish functionality. Personally I'm not too bothered by the extender, but I mean I did pay for a wireless controller; not a wireless controller with a caveat. The other thing is this thing's swappable input modes. Swapping from XInput to Direct Input is great and works fluidly. However, unless I'm emulating SNES games (which will screw up on XInput but works great on Direct), there's absolutely no use to Direct because it doesn't work! Direct is supposed to be great for games that don't have controller support or aren't part of an emulator with controller support, but the thing is the logitech system profiler which is the only thing that lets you configure the Direct Input for games, doesn't detect my controller at all! I've tried everything and every game with controller support detects it, except for the LSP. Meaning some of my games have no hope of any controller support whatsoever. Though to be honest, the only game I can think of that I'd like to have controller support in is Minecraft. The other issue is the feeling. It's comfortable for the first hour or so, but eventually it just starts to feel uncomfortable to hold. It's weird, and idk what the issue is, but it's this strange discomfort. I used to play for hours on DS2&3 and on the Xbox 360 controller without discomfort but this one is just annoying after a while. Overall if you need a new controller, this probably isn't the place to look. Go get an Xbox One controller when it's a available for PC.

Logitec is a quality driven company. The only ones I do business with. I use all their wireless keyboards and mice. But this game controller is incredible. It is built like the man of steel. I fully expect it to outlast my lifetime. It is rather heavy do to it's rugged construction. I can't really figure out the rumble pack feature, seems to just vibrate when you push the button. Might be because I am using retro game software. Although a little expensive it is worth it.

Wow, I honestly don't even know where to begin with this one. Let me start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Logitech and absolutely LOVE every other product that I've ever purchased (and I've purchased a lot over the years). My Harmony One remote is amazing, K400 wireless keyboard...slick, MX518 mouse...it's a champ, just to scratch the surface. That said, I'm a long-time keyboard and mouse PC gamer who also has a PS3, so most of my gamepad comparisons are with the Six Axis controller, which I've had no issues with. I recently built an HTPC system for use as a media player, DVR, and gaming system. It's been great, but it's a bit of a pain trying to use a keyboard and mouse on the couch for gaming, which lead me to look at gamepads. I knew I wanted it to be wireless and I wanted something reliable, so that narrowed my search down to the Microsoft 360 gamepad and the Logitech F710. Having no experience with an Xbox 360 controller, I decided I would go with Logitech since I know they've always treated me well and the technical specs and reviews looked solid. Upon opening it up, my immediate impression was that it looked rather cheap and was rather heavy. It does seem like it can take a beating, but it really looks like a crappy knockoff product that you can buy for half the money. I could care less what it looks like though, as long as it performs well. Unfortunately, that's not the case. The initial setup was very easy. Windows 7 x64 picked it up right away without needing to download any drivers. I immediately fired it up with with a simple game (Magic the Gathering 2013) to test it out. Right away, I noticed that it seemed to be experiencing some lag issues and was occasionally missing button presses entirely. I tend to sit on my couch half-reclined, with my knees up, as I know many other gamers do. In this position, I noticed that the response issues were only happening when my knees were blocking the controller's line of sight to the PC. Seriously? It's a signal strength issue? You've got to be kidding me. I do that all the time with my PS3 controller and have no issues at all. It sits just below the HTPC, both of which are approximately 8 feet away and 4 feet off the ground with direct line of sight. Now I know that Logitech included the extension cable, which did seem to resolve the issue (moved the transceiver around to the front of the PC), but that just seems like a poor design and now I have an ugly cable and transceiver stuck out in front of the otherwise clean entertainment console. So the Bluetooth reception isn't great, but at least there's a workaround. Strike 1. Moving on, I fired up a shooter (Spec Ops: The Line) which has full controller support. I immediately noticed that the dead zones for the analog sticks were horrible, making precise movements extremely difficult. This is partially due to the sticks being overly stiff (too strong of a spring) and the dead zone being too large (amount of movement required before registering it's no longer at rest). This is an absolute killer in an FPS. Strike 2. Strike 3 came when I tried to use triggers L2 and R2. Both are rather small and are not rounded or ergonomic in any way. Like the analog sticks, the trigger springs are also too strong. They are usable until you're 30 minutes in and realize that your fingers are getting sore (90 degree button edges, not rounded) and tired (from pulling so hard). Unfortunately for me, I'd already thrown out the box (tested over 2 days), since I was blindly expecting it to adhere to the same level of quality as the rest of their products. Were it not for this, I would have sent it back to Amazon for a refund. Note: Edited for grammar and minor tweaking.

I bought this controller primarily to use with Steam Big Picture and games. Both the internet at large, and Valve reccommend this or the 360 controller. I've used the 360 controller fairly extensively, and from reading reviews this had some additional features, to I decided to give it to try. I'm very glad I did. This is an excellent controller. I'll give a quick highlights, then if you want to know more read on! Pros- Beautiful well designed hardware High build quality Plug and play (for the most part) DirectInput and Xinput support makes it very compatible Sport mode is handy to easily use the D-PAD in place of the Analog stick or vice versa in any game. Potentially battery saving feature to toggle vibration DPad is much nicer than 360 Great for Steam Big Picture Nice small receiver Neutral- Heavier than Xbox 360 controller. I like the heft, others may not. Triggers are stiffer than 360 controller. Nice for shooting, may be not as nice for racing. Cons- Home/Center button doesn't do anything in directinput mode It's not perfect, but it is the best, so 5/5. IMO the only reason to get the 360 controller instead is if you want to use it with a 360 as well. Hardware/Build Quality The first thing I noticed when I got this out of the box is it's beautiful. The silver/black looks really nice, and the button colors are vibrant. The matte black back and non glossy (don't know if it qualifies as matte) silver front don't attract fingerprints like some controllers. Next I noticed it's weight. It's got a good weight to it. It's heavier than the 360 or PS3. I like the heft, gives it a bit more of a high quality feel. It's also well designed. The matte back, and rubberized gribs make it comfortable to hold. The shape is perfect, your hands wrap around it just right. The triggers are stiffer than the 360 controllers or ps3s. Makes it feel a little more snappy and responsive, it's super nice for shooting. Some people report it tiring them out for games you have to hold it for a long time (like racing games). The rubberized tops of the sticks are rounded and textured for grip and feel much nicer than the 360's controller. I didn't notice any deadzones. Drivers/Software Support Overall the support is great. For most features it's pretty much just plug and play. It works flawlessly as a replacement for the 360 controller and has additional features. The sport mode is handy for anytime you want to use the dpad instead of the stick (or vice versa) in any game, in either mode. Being able to turn off vibration is a feature many might find useful. Also being able to use directinput or xinput with the flip of a hardware switch makes it compatible with nearly any game easily. The provided software makes it easy to use as a remote to control any program on windows. For linux it's as simple as plugging it in. LSUSB and games call it "Logitech, Inc. Cordless RumblePad 2" in direct input mode. LSUSB reports it as "Logitech, Inc. F710 Wireless Gamepad [XInput Mode]" and games normally call it generic xbox pad in xinput mode. Both work without a hitch. If you want to test or calibrate it there are various tools. jstest-gtk for one. Windows is just as simple for many. Others, myself included have had to manually tell windows to use the xbox 360 controller drivers for xinput mode. If it doesn't seem to work out of the box, you may have to as well. Go to device manager find it and right click to "update drivers" choose to find your own, select from drivers on the PC and find the 360 driver to install. Once you do that it works great. Logitech provides a profiler for direct input mode to program the buttons to any shortcut for each program individually. It's a handy tool. Steam big picture works flawlessly in xinput mode. It's almost the same story in directinput once you set the buttons. The only problem with it in directinput is the home/center button doesn't do anything. Steam uses this for it's overlay or to take screenshots by default, so if you plan on using this for steam games that don't support xinput you might need to find a new shortcut. It's a little frustrating. I imagine they did it because the Rumblepad 2 (which it basically is in directinput) didn't have the button, but I can't imagine it would be hard to add a button to the drivers. At the very least it seems like it should report the button, and let the drivers handle it or not, which would make it work on Linux at least. But that's a relatively minor complaint since most games will use xinput, and it's so easy to switch.

Great!

Lo usó principalmente para jugar con emuladores de videojuegos hasta la sexta generación de consolas en una laptop con Kubuntu 20.04. El sistema operativo lo reconoció de inmediato en ambas funciones (direct input y Xinput). Los botones se sienten duros al principio, pero inmediatamente te acostumbras, los botones laterales hacen click al presionarlos y los gatillos se sienten bien. El control direccional es preciso y los controles análogos son como los de las consolas de Sony. La vibración va desde suave a muy intensa dependiendo del juego y como lo configures con los distintos emuladores. Se siente pesado por las baterías AA que utiliza, pero con el tiempo te olvidas de ello. El diseño es muy ergonómico, se ve que está diseñado para las partidas largas. Los plásticos son buenos, me se ha caído un par de veces y sólo ha sido el puro susto. Recomiendo que el conector inalámbrico esté siempre "visible" para el control, si es posible, usar la extensión USB que viene incluido para mejor recepción. me siento a 2 metros de mi laptop que está conectado a la televisión y el lag es casi nulo, durante varias horas de juego al día se desconecta una o dos veces por un segundo. Un detalle positivo es que puedes guardar el conector USB dentro del compartimiento de las baterías. Llevo semanas con el control y aún las baterías con las que vinieron con el dispositivo siguen funcionando. Este dispositivo es de lo mejor que he probado, sólo superado por los controles originales del Xbox y PS4. Incluso funciona sin problemas en un PS3 (modo D-input) y en juegos con un teléfono android (debes usar un adaptador OTG).

Pros: - Best overall compatibility with newer and older games, newer and older OSes, games requiring Xbox-style controllers (i.e. games not compatible with DualShock 4) - Long battery life (8-12 hours per pair of AAs), will never need to throw away the controller due to an aged Li-Ion battery - Rumble feedback seems strong enough, and seems to be compatible with games that use it - Despite its inexpensive appearance, build quality is very high, comparable to DualShock 4 - Does not require Bluetooth functionality due to its 2.4GHz dongle Cons: - Comfort: The LT and RT triggers have a lot more resistance than DualShock 4 for example, which can result in fatigue. My solution to this is to only calibrate these buttons to 40-50% of their range, rather than 100%. Other than this, i have no complaints about the comfort of the controller. - No DS4-style touch pad - Only available in gray - If you misplace or forget to bring your USB dongle, you can't use the controller - Using 4 controllers at a time would require 4 available USB ports If I could only own one game controller, it would be this one, no doubt about it.

Na caixa não reaproveitável vem o controle, extensor do plug usb e o usb, e é muito difícil abrir sem danificar a caixa, mas isso é um detalhe. O controle é ótimo, eu apenas conecter o extensor usb e o usb e o windows instalou os drivers na hora e reconheceu o F710, executei o jogo e ele reconheceu o controle na hora e já comecei a jogar. O aplicativo do xbox no pc também reconhece o controle você pode jogar o seu xcloud tranquilo. Não testei no celular, mas quando não conectado no pc e você liga o pc a luz fica pesquisando, procurando algum bluetooth pra se conectar, então você pode testar pra ver se funciona. Se não funcionar, talvez tenha alguma tecla especial que conecte, assim como o controle do PS4, vale testar. Os botões são duros na medida certa e o controle fica muito confortável na mão, é macio atrás e tudo. Nada a reclamar, joguei por horas tranquilo. Se atente a uma coisa... Em cima do controle tem 2 opções, xinput e direct input, e vale certificar em qual opção seu controle está habilitado, pois o xinput é plugou, jogo reconheceu e o controle se adapta as configurações do jogo. Já o directinput habilita você a configurar os controles do seu jogo. Para que serve isso? Bem, quem joga jogos na steam e jogos em emuladores, sabe...

Por la facilidad al instalar y al jugar tan sencillo
